One of the most popular Super Bowl bets that doesn't involve the actual game is the result of the pregame coin flip, which is literally a 50-50 proposition, because you have two equal choices.

The history of the Super Bowl coin toss bears this out: It's close to a 50-50 result, with tails holding a 30-27 lead in the all-time results (52.6%).

Tails has been the winner seven times in the past 10 Super Bowls.

Let's take a look at the odds for the upcoming coin toss for Super Bowl LVIII.

The pregame coin toss is the purest of all sports bets. A simple heads or tails, and instant gratification afterward. No +/- to account for underdogs/favorites when you place your wager.

Several books offer wagers on the coin toss, and here are the odds from DraftKings:

Heads: +100 (bet $10 to win $20 total)

Tails: +100 (bet $10 to win $20 total)

A bettor already put down a big bet on the coin flip.

A Michigan bettor plunked down $100,000 on the coin flip being tails at -105 for a $95,238.10 profit.

Is winning the coin toss a good omen for that team? Not really. 

The winner of the coin toss has lost the game 32 times.

For those keeping track at home, the coin flip has landed on tails 30 times and on heads 27 times. So maybe the old phrase, "tails never fails," is sort of true.
